I cant seem to find out. Will the unlocked version work on Sprint. I get a much better deal if I preorder the unlocked version, but I'm on Sprint
The previous ones did, so I don't see why not. It supports Sprint's CDMA bands. That's the one I ordered. Pretty confident that it'll work.

Thanks. I know the OTA updates take longer, but I get more off if I order that one and trade my Note 8. Im only getting the regular Note 10. I feels more like my beloved Note 7's size.
I have an unlocked Note 8 that I use on Sprint. I actually loaded the Sprint firmware to get VoLTE as well. I plan to do the same with the Note 10+.

Sprint firmware? I ordered the base Note 10 unlocked and got a Sprint sim card for it directly from Samsung using their Galaxy forever program. I can trade it every year and basically be paying 1/2 the cost of a new one. It will ship on 9/4. The Note 10+ is just way to big for my small hands. I'll keep my Note 9 as a backup, traded the Note 8, and the Note 9 will be used when I need higher specs. I do like the thinness of the base Note 10 as well. Looking forward to it.

I too ordered the Note 10 as + would be too big When you get your new phone and put in Sprint sim, check to see if you have anything missing, feature wise(WiFi calling, VoLTE). If you don't then you are fine, if you do, then flashing Sprint firmware is an alternative.

Wifi calling and VoLTE seem to be intact. But keeps saying WiFi calling app missing. Radio signal can be weak at times.

Hmm, WiFi calling is built into the system, so there should not be an app needed here. Did you transfer your data, settings from your previous phone? Maybe that device had wifi calling app which got onto your new device and somehow conflicts with the current settings

If you flash it to SPR, you would get OTA updates when Sprint pushes it and you will be able to re-flash it to original unlocked firmware or to another carrier. I have T-Mobile firmware on my Note10

U1 is what you have. You need U, if you want SPR firmware. Run SamFirm app on your PC and type in your model as: SM-N970U and for region put: SPR. See if Auto is selected and and on the right side see if Check crs32 and decrypt auto is selected hit check update

Hi!
Hey any functionality lost by using the unlocked version on T-Mobile ?
Thanks
When speaking to Samsung about this, they told me all T-Mobile bands are supported including 5G on the unlocked versions. What you may lose is video calling (who cares) and possibly wifi calling. But in the past I've seen threads were talking to higher-level techs at T-Mobile can enable those features.
I noticed Samsung checkout page didn't ask if you need a SIM for the unlocked phone. In the past it would give you an option. So curious if you will need to go to the store for a SIM.
Thanks . Video calling is big with me . Rats
My Note 9 was unlocked from Samsung but video calling and Wi-Fi calling work fine. Not sure about this phone though.
Won't you just be able to flash the T-Mobile firmware via Odin if you get the unlocked? Then you get the best of both worlds. This is what I did with my Note10+. Got the Unlocked from Samsung then used Odin to get the official T-mobile firmware.

I currently use an unlocked note 10+ on tmo that isn't flashed. The only limitation is that I cannot do tmo-to-tmo video calling. It may simply be a setting on my end but I never looked into it as there are so many options. Everything else works fine and I seem to get every update at the same time.

TMO user with S20 Ultra here. Don't use video calling so I could not say. Wifi calling works.
Third party VVM apps do NOT work and TMO's downloadable visual voice mail app is garbage IMHO.
When I put my VZW sim in the same phone the Samsung VVM app works beautifully.
Unlocked S20 Ultra 512GB here.
"5G" works on TMO where there is coverage however the speed tests show LTE as connection type. Interestingly enough some of the speed tests actually show 5G. Not sure what's going on with that. Have reached over 200Mbps down on TMO "5G" a few times. Most of the time it's the same speed as LTE. Don't care, it works, hot spot works nice too.
If you were to (properly) flash TMO firmware (in theory) it SHOULD make your phone just like a TMO bought phone including the cheesy jingle when booting up. Never tried it, I like the slim as possible approach. Plus the ability to drop in a VZW sim and it just works IS a MUST for me.

I hate it so much I just dial in to listen the old fashioned way. I screen calls anyhow so the ONLY time it rings I know who is calling so not really a big deal. If callers don't have the secret PIN they get hung up on! F robos!
What about roaming on T Mobile partner network? Will I get a network on my UNLOCKED Galaxy Note 20 Ultra if I am roaming on US Cellular or any TMobile partner Network?
Will my Unlocked Galaxy Note 20 Ultra support all 5G bands from TMobile? (Low, Mid and High ) Layer Cake so to say.
What about SA 5G (Stand Alone 5G) that TMobile just launched. Will the Unlocked Galaxy Note 20 Ultra support it?
Sprint frequencies
I'm mostly concerned about the Sprint frequencies T-Mobile is picking up.
Current Note8 user on ATT (phone locked to carrier). I pre-ordered a Note20 Ultra from Samsung direct, unlocked version. Have been off XDA really for a couple years and not rooting/modding much lately but have read that ATT will not allow unlocked phones on their network to use WiFi Calling and/or VoLTE. If true, are there workaround options for me (assuming I stick w ATT as the carrier I mean) to get these to work, or should I cancel the unlocked model and order the ATT version? Was hoping to root eventually and remove bloatware / play w custom ROMs again on the Ultra etc etc. - that is why I ordered an unlocked version.
Thanks gents for the guidance here! Best forum around for us phone geeks

Did not work for me on the unlocked note 10+. Worked right away on the tmobile.
Att was actually fun to have. Nothing that att expected worked on the unlocked device. For example I had unlimited hotspot, despite it was not included in my att plan.

That's bizarre. I am rethinking this unlocked route. I must have wifi calling since signal at the house is terrible in my area. I don't need the drama of uncertainty if this will work or not. Might as well cancel the unlocked one and just upgrade via att. Oy. Wtf is with att these days? They lost my directv account last year and now their wireless policies are looking like a royal pita.
I don't think you have to worry .... ATT seems to consistently allow Samsung unlocked devices to have carrier functions
You just have to flash the U CSC as mentioned above. Worked for me on Note 10 and is currently working on a s20 ultra device

I strongly recommend switching your order to the ATT model. I got my note 10+ unlocked based off the suggestions found here saying that flashing the att firmware would give me all the features, and I've been through a year of headaches.
For a little wile i was able to enjoy wifi calling, voicemail and VOLTE, but after my first software update the features were lost. i was able to get them back briefly by putting my sim back in an old Att phone and keeping it for a day or two, but that trick never lasted past a week. I've tried re-flashing the software, switching back to unlocked and then back to ATT, basically anything i could think of and it never worked.
calling ATT didn't help either, as the reps gave me a canned line about not supporting outside phones. the whole reason I'm updating to the 20 ultra is to just get my phone fully functional with an ATT model

Thanks darth. Yeah, I switched to the att version. Hate the hidden tracking bloatware etc that comes with it but must have a very workable phone for daily work calls and wifi calling is a must. No drama is my motto these days. Thank you for reporting your experience.
I had the same situation with my unlocked Pixel 4 XL, keep calling ATT until I got the right person to modify my sim to allow WiFi Calling to work, that's my plan when I get my unlocked 20 Ultra.
I'm not a gent, but I doI have the Note 20 Ultra in for review and am using it with an AT&T SIM. VoLTE works, no option for WiFi calling.

What worries me is the 5G. Will unlocked work for ATT 5G?
It does on my unlocked Galaxy S20+ 5G. The Note 20 Ultra is a ways to release and their system doesn't yet correctly identify the IMEI, so I can't say for sure what will happen after release day.

Hi Lisa,
Your reviews are the best, so thank you first of all. Can you check if it has any eSIM capabilities? Supposedly S20 was going to get an update to allow eSIM use in US but that never happened...
Thanks . I'm not seeing anything under connection settings on our US unlocked Note 20 Ultra (there's no IMEI listed or cellular network option listed under connection settings when no nano SIM is installed. EsimClient is running on the phone, which makes me think the hardware must be there. EsimClient is not running on my GS 20+ unlocked.

Great, thank you for checking and comparing with S20+ !
eSIMClient running gives me hope that we will get eSIM support in an update...Still perplexed how or why Samsung has gone out of the way to disable eSIM on US variants when Apple, Google support it.

Ha! Thanks Lisa (love your tech vids!!) - I switched to the ATT version. Supposed to be here 8/21. I can't take a chance with wifi calling being borked, or that just that I may need to Odin-flash updates or CSC packs periodically to keep up with the monthly patches (ie force an unlocked unit to keep working on ATT's network if my previous firmware gets overwritten etc. I mean). I guess as I got older I went from a tech pioneer and adopter to just an end user LOL.... I just need it to work. Maybe I can do that package remove thingy and chop the bloatware periodically... we shall see once the community gets these units and starts their dev magic for us.
I guess I will need to make an appt at the local ATT store in a week to get on a new 5G plan from my current 4G one to take advantage of the coming speeds.
You're welcome- glad you enjoy our vids! With AT&T, you can simply change your plan online, no need to visit a store. The mid and high tier unlimited plans include 5G.

Really? I didn't see an AT&T f916u firmware on SamMobile. Unless its an AT&T firmware with USERDATA file then you will not have working Wi-Fi calling.

Oh I thought the f916u1 that says AT&T was the firmware. Super glad then so there is a chance that sometime later something will be uploaded? Yeah not to knowledgeable with this stuff so just saw AT&T and thought that was it. Well I will have to check that site for a little while fingers crossed.
Guessing from past devices, once a "branded" complete AT&T firmware becomes available for the Z Fold 2 then you should be able to have the option for Wi-Fi calling of course your SIM has to also be provisioned for this feature. I think if you can wait it out, you will be able to have Wi-Fi calling at some point.
I bought a Tmobile one even though i use Google Fi (which basically uses Tmobile only on non Fi phones). I flashed the unlocked firmware SM-F916U1 and i have Wifi Calling. I choose XAA.

It's just an AT&T thing. AT&T don't make firmwares available publicly. AT&T exclusive features like Wi-Fi calling and HD Voice aka Voice over LTE are usually not available to unlocked devices with a few exceptions like the Pixel and the recent S20 series. Fortunately for us here at XDA, I'm speaking for past experiences that there were AT&T firmwares available from either SamMobile or people here with access to the AT&T servers. Hardware wise, US Samsung phones should all be the same with exception of maybe Verizon due to their radio requirement differences. So all carriers features should work on all devices providing 1) correct software/firmware on the phone 2) the carrier's database sees the device as a capability device/system provisioned. I suggest that anyone looking for AT&T Samsung Firmwares, search the sub for maybe s9/s10/s20...see who in the past provided firmwares for this carrier, ask them. Hope this helps.

The only way you will get it to work is to flash the unlocked firmware on your Note 20 Ultra. I have the Unlocked Note 20 Ultra being used on Verizon and the S7+ wifi.

I installed the apk on my note 10 plus. Only one version would install, 2.1.00.48.
I was able to enable it on my phone, but it still doesn't work.

Oh, this is a good news for me. I honestly don't use the Verizon Video Calling. Do you have the link for the unlocked firmware for Note 20 Ultra?

You can find the unlocked for the 20 in this forum. No idea about the tablet. Cannot cross flash that I bet. You will have to use the Verizon Messages app for text and calls on both then.

I downloaded the 2.1.00.48 package last night from APKMirror, installed it and got my S8 and Tab S6 working on Verizo-crap! First go, didn't appear to work when I tried calling. Uninstalled and issue was still there, where I then noticed my Network Type had changed. Reset the connection, tested Calling, Ok. Tried install again, checked Calling and it Works! Tried Messaging but it wasn't initially working. Tried again a few hours later and it Works! I believe the SMS Cache was being created for the S6 and not in sync with the S8 on my first try. Couldn't believe it, but it's all working. Have to thank insights I got on this forum and others. I'm in the US in the Chicagoland area. S8 is running on 9, Tab S6 is running on 10.

The only way you will get it to work is to flash the unlocked firmware on your Note 20 Ultra. I have the Unlocked Note 20 Ultra being used on Verizon and the S7+ wifi. The Call and Text on other devices work flawlessly. The only thing you will lose is Verizon Video Calling. I have wifi calling and visual voicemail.

When you say you got them to work flawlessly did you mean through the android messages app or the Verizon messages app?

Will only work with unlocked firmware. You can convert your Verizon Note to unlocked firmware. Just do a search it is very easy.
My phone is paid off? I believe it is unlocked. Or is there a certain type of Unlocked Firmware that I need to Download?

You need to use odin and the newest unlocked firmware to convert your Verizon Note to and Unlocked Note. Unlocked device not Carrier unlocked. There are threads that explain doing this in this forum.

Alright! That sounds awesome! I really appreciate it. I came from 8 years with Crapple and finally said I am done. But with Android Software, there is so much to do and so easy to mess something up. I kind of miss the simplicity of the Apple. I just like how smooth everything worked on apple. Now I am having to go through all this stuff just to sync my Samsung Messages. Like really.
Thank you for all your help. If I need anything with this, I am coming to you, is that ok?

Everything you need is in the Guides, New and Discussion forum Section. Just look in there. You will not need me. I buy unlocked so I do not have to do that. If your Samsung tablet is a Verizon branded one this will not work and you will need to use their messaging app. It will only work with the Wifi tablets.

Okay I will Look into doing this, Definitely Scary. I have a Note20 Ultra VZW and a Wifi Tab S7+. Should not have any problems. Hopefully.
I have a TMO S22U and basically I immediately flashed to U1. I'm just curious are there any advantages I'm missing out on being on U1 opposed to T-Mobile U? I know there probably aren't many but I'm just curious.
Some say U1 us better. I'm At&t so probably someone on Tmo will chime in. But for me, U1 offered nothing over U. I mean yes no At&t bloat but I can disable what I don't want on U to get the desired affect.
My biggest thing was the T-Mobile splash screen, it sounds SO DUMB but flashing to U1 made it literally 100% Samsung for me I'm just wondering what could have been lol
The only thing I heard, but I am not certain about is that you lose the TMO visual email capability. Otherwise I have not heard anything else. I am on TMO and I kept mine on U. As butchieboy said, I just disable what I do not want. In all reality, there is not much from TMO that is loaded on the system side. More of the bloat is from Samsung and Google.
Thanks for the speedy replies guys much appreciated
One thing I noticed when I did the same thing, was I could not get 5G Ultra Capacity to work. Not certain I was doing anything wrong, just wouldn't work for me.
I think I read somewhere that you do get it, but there is no icon for it in the U1 image. It will show 4G LTE. Check your download speeds.

I did, 2 days apart in the same spot, the icon showed 5G as did the speed test connection type, but the speeds were much slower than 5G UC, almost 400 Mbps difference. Switched the firmware, back to the insane, almost WiFi type speeds.
Did you check the mobile networks setting to make sure 5G is available and selected?

Yes, that was my first thought. It never quite worked the way I should have.
preinstalled crap apps on tmo firmware
The main benefit for me on the unlocked firmware is the built in called id and spam blocking. For att you have to pay extra and tmobile has it on its best plan. But still think it works better than tmobiles implementation. And since i change carriers often i like to always have caller id and spam blocking no matter which one i use.

Can I ask what specific firmware you used to flash to unlocked?

I downloaded the S980U1UEU1 firmware which on the latest update ends with AVCK. Used Frija to download it
Carrier firmwares usually get updated a week before the u1 series does.

Would've just been a considence. U1 firmware does connect to 5G UC just look at the service menu and it'll confirm if your connected to N41 or not.
But I moved back from u1 to tmv U firmware due to having weird call /sms issues where it would just stop working and only fix was a reboot. Hasn't happened since switching back to U firmware.
Here's an interesting question..
I was on TMO and I bought a S22U from TMO (unlocked it with them afterwards) and of course it was on 5GUC and everything (I used ESIM). I got another sim (Mint Mobile) and when used as primary it would show 5G+
After a while, and just out of spite of the hideous 4G LTE TMO icon I Flashed the U1 firmware.. I'm no longer using TMO as I ported my number to Mint and it has been good.. Would it make sense to return to TMO U firmware or should I stay in U1 as Im no longer using the TMO sim?

Probably fine on U1. You're no longer connecting to anything advantageous besides updates being slightly faster with U.
I'm with T-Mobile, but purchased mine directly from Samsung.. I have the S22 Ultra U1. Since my last phone purchased from T-Mobile A52 5G. biggest change, No daily spam calls or text.. What a difference that makes.. With T-Mobile, their so called Spam blocker was notihng more than a spam attractor. Plus no more of the hidious bloat and splash screen..
I have the unlocked and I dirty flash switch between U and U1 depending on which newest ROM is out. There's absolutely no difference save for the annoying TMOB splash screen and that it says UC ... But from my extensive testing the speeds are the same whether it says 5G on the U1 or 5GUC on the U.
